Royal Train For South Africa -- Some of the Coaches of the Royal Train. The Royal Train, only ordered eight months ago for Their Majesties tour of South Africa, is now receiving the final touches at the Saltley works of the Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon Co. The coaches are-conditioned, and the interiors are of Empire wood and furnishings, with fluorescent lighting telephonic communication, and in every way a tribute to British workman ship.
